Contests Contests Contests!
Sunday, January 4, 2009 16:26So my buddy nickycakes posted a top 10 lists of horrible make money sites on his blog. I finally got around to reading it and I saw the blogs of all these “super affiliates” which I have heard of but I never went to their sites.
So I hit up Tyler Cruze’s site and find the token super affiliate cartoon guy so now I know this guy is legit. I mean all super affiliates need a cartoon guy which is why I have one but mine is from istock. So I read a couple of posts and it seems for the last 7 months all he has done is have affiliate contests! Sign up under his link make him money and you could win a crap ton of prizes. The top prize for 100k in revenue is a Segway!
After this I hit up Zac Johnson’s website for the first time ever.. token cartoon guy so I know I am at the right place and guess what.. Another contest! Same network as a few of tyler’s to, seems motive and xyz are giving out tons of shit to get more publishers. Same thing…sign up under him make him free cash get prizes. Top prize for 300k revenue is a freaking smart car. Though I highly doubt he will ever get a guy doing 300k a MONTH under him. But hey if it works for him..
Anyway I am starting to see a pattern here..to be a true super affiliate my goal needs to be to get as many readers as possible and then hold monthly contests, or constantly post about how much money my blog is making. Ill have to make that one of my goals for 2009….
I want to note a few things though. I do a fair bit online, this month I will probably break 100k in revenue NOT PROFIT. So these things are really tempting, I would love a free Segway but I trust my main network (Ad4sDough) and I know I am not getting raped by scrubbed leads. That Segway is tempting but who do you think is really going to pay for it in the end…

Heh, I’m not a super affiliate. I barely break even in affiliate marketing. I’m just an internet entrepreneur who is making a living online and documenting how on my blog.
Anyhow, this is obviously self-promotion, but if you’re doing 100K/month I really suggest considering entering my challenges. I’m able to squeeze out a lot of big prizes from my sponsored affiliate networks, and it’s in your favour that it’s based on GROSS and not net.
Also, I can probably negotiate a really nice prize for you if you can exceed 100K/month. Forget a smart car…. how about a Porche Boxster Convertible?

Well you have a lot more affiliate referrals than I do that’s for sure. If the contest thing works for you congrats.
